Re: ANNOUNCE: fping 3.16 (and version 4 pre-announcement)

[Axel Beckert]

Hi David,

I'm lagging a little bit with the Debian uploads. I just uploaded 3.16
to experimental (due to the freeze) despite 4.0-rc1 is out already.
Will upload that one (or another RC if released until then) in the
next few days, I hope.

I included both these fixes in the 3.16 upload and fping on Debian
GNU/Hurd builds now again:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=fping=experimental

Kind regards, Axel

This should be fixed by this commit:

It seems to be this error:

sizeof(tos))) {
^~~
fping.c:612:60: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each

Additionally there was this warning (not fatal, but IMHO noteworthy):

 struct cmsghdr *cmsg;

might of help anyways.)

That's a good decision IMHO. A bit in the spirit of Semantic
Versioning (see http://semver.org/).

Cool, thanks. Do you know what the problem with GNU/Hurd is?

Yes, correct. I thought that it would be better to release the
fping/fping6 unification changes as 4.0.

Good to know, thanks.

Thanks! I had uploaded 3.16-rc2 to Debian Experimental only yesterday.
Built fine on all release architectures. Only failed to build from
source on GNU/Hurd.

Ah, so despite that was in the 3.16-rc2, it's not in 3.16?

At least from the packaging side it was not much of an issue.

ANNOUNCE: fping 3.16 (and version 4 pre-announcement)

[David Schweikert]

Hi,

I have just released fping 3.16 (see changelog below).

I also started working on a "fping 4.0" release, which will contain more
disruptive changes such as:

- unification of fping and fping6 binaries into one
- long options (in addition to the short options)

Considering that these changes might break some installations, I decided to
also maintain a "version 3" branch without these changes. Still, I hope that
the transition from fping version 3 to fping version 4 will be as smooth as
possible.

Changes since the last release:

2017-02-09  David Schweikert  
  * Version 3.16
  * (feature) Support kernel-timestamping of received packets (#46)
  * (feature) Simplify restrictions: only -i >= 1 and -p >= 10 are enforced now
  * (bugfix) Fix option -m to return all IPs of a hostname
  * (bugfix) Fix option -H (ttl) for IPv6
  * (bugfix) Fix option -M (don't fragment) for IPv6
  * (bugfix) Fix option -O (ToS) for IPv6
  * (bugfix) Fix compatibility issue with AIX (#69, @blentzgh)
  * (bugfix) Fix option -q not suppressing some ICMP error messages (#83)
  * (bugfix) Fix option -M expecting an argument, when it shouldn't
  * (bugfix) Fix minor issues found by Coverity Scan

You can download it here: http://fping.org/dist/

Cheers
David
